I am going to book my hotel today for the motogp weekend and hopefully beat any price increase. Can any of the locals tell me what side of town the track is on and where there might be a relatively nearby cluster of cheapish hotels?
Thanks

If you're not wanting to stay downtown, you might look at Georgetown, Round Rock and San Marcos. All are within easy driving distance. You might consider downtown, though. Austin is a great city with a really cool nightlife. The food and music are world class.

For me, the noise (and the hair are standing up on the back of my neck just thinking about it) of a Formula 1 car passing you for the first time at full tilt will stay with you forever.

Enjoy

It is worse than that, you will be hooked forever. You will find yourself staying up all night so you can watch a race in Asia live. You will be planning trips to far away locations....make the first one the Belgian GP.

Now to indoctrinate you properly, you must cheer for the Red Cars. You will need a 2x3 meter dancing horse flag. Every time they come by you have to give that cowbell all it can take. And if you are behind a Red Bull fan, you need to knock them off their feet with your airhorn every time they stand up. Consider it your DRS.

I don't think so old bean....everyone knows JB is the man to root for (whoever he drives for) and if you MUST root for a team, it has to be that last bastion of a true F1 team, Williams.
